– Firstly, dismount the cutting tool.
– For mounting the circular cutter 11 (accessory)
we recommend taking off the base plate 7.
– Insert the threaded plate 14 with the guiding
projections into the notches (arrows) on the
base plate 7.
– Screw the circular-cutting arm 15, scale facing
downwards, to the threaded plate 14 (in the
base plate 7) with the round nut 16.
– Insert the punching pin 17 in the guide, set the
required diameter and secure using the lock
nut 20. The specifications on the circular-cut-
ting arm 15 correspond with the diameter of the
circle to be cut.
– Secure the handle 19 to the circular-cutting
arm 15 using screw 18. When using the maxi-
mum circle diameter, the handle 19 can also
serve in place of the lock nut for securing the
punching pin 17.
– Assemble the base plate 7 with the circular cut-
ter 11 applied.

Operating Instructions
Always work in a clockwise direction.
The machine can only be used for cutting
material up to a thickness of 25 mm.
Do not brake it using the spindle lock but-
ton.
Always keep the spindle and base plate
clean.
The correct cutting tools should be used to suit
the material to be treated.
Cut-outs of any form are possible without drilling
in advance, by punching with the cutting tool while
the machine is running.
E
Position the machine with the edge of the
base plate at an angle of about 45° to the work-
piece and switch on. Slowly lower the machine
into the work-piece.
After reaching the required cutting depth, turn
F
the machine to its normal working position again
with the entire base plate contacting the surface.
Continue to cut along the cutting line.
After completing the cut, switch off the machine
first and then pull it out of the cut.
To protect susceptible work-piece surfaces, e.g.
ceramics, the adjustable foot plate 10 (acces-
sory) should be mounted on the base plate 7.
The adjustable foot plate 10 (accessory) can also
be used as a parallel stop plate for straight cuts.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and the ventilation slots clean.
Clean the tool carrier and base plate after
every tool change.
If the machine should fail despite the rigorous
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an authorised after-sales
service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit order number
given on the nameplate of the machine.
